Whistleblowers have been in the news lately, and though they may seem far
removed from you and your job, you too could become a whistleblower. If

activities in your workplace, you'll have to decide if you want to
bring these wrongdoings to light. Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation
by the law, but it's still wise to hire an

to employees, shareholders, or the general public. Whistleblowing can
also come with a financial reward, which motivates some people to speak
up. Explore this infographic to learn more about a few of the most common
